If this is the same Mary Moore that I mowed her lawn in the 80s I'm so sorry for the Loss of a beautiful sweet lady. I was a young guy and I saw her one Saturday afternoon mowing her lawn with a weed eater. I asked her if she needed a person to mow her lawn on a regular basis, she hired me on the spot. I came back the next day and mowed her lawn, and continued to mow it for a couple of years. I am sad . Praying for her family and friends.
